“When blacks hear the word conservatism, we hear Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms, segregationist senators from South Carolina and North Carolina, respectively.”
Neither Jesse Helms or Strom Thurmond were Segregationists.

I stopped reading at the words “black community.”
Collectivists don’t believe in freedom or individual achievement, just free stuff from the Demacrats plantation.
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
As a matter of fact, conservatives force real blacks to make a false choice: to be black or conservative, as though we cant be both. Stopped reading right there. Total BS!

"Conservatives have shown no demonstrable indication to the black community that we are welcomed will engage in pandering by the party or the conservative movement.

Neither Jesse Helms or Strom Thurmond were Segregationists.
They actually were, early on. Strom Thurmond ran for U.S. President as "Democratic States' Rights"/Dixiecrat candidate. He was also a Segregationist as governor of South Carolina.
Jesse Helms had an early gig helping segregationist Willis Smith in North Carolina.
What the author didn't mention, is that both of these men were DEMOCRATS in their segregationist days. They gave up segregationalism before "Sheets" Byrd gave up the KKK.

Neither Jesse Helms or Strom Thurmond were Segregationists. Nor were they former Klansmen, if I'm not mistaken.

Good grief. Don't you perceive yourself as belonging to a 'community'?
I thought this was an excellent essay, and a very interesting alternate perspective.
If you look at a lot of the posts that show up on FR, you'll see how alienating a lot of the stuff we post here actually is, to right-minded Black people.
A lot of people here don't seem to realize how their smartass remarks are alienating the very people who could - and would like to - join and help us. Do we expect them to join, when so many posts, every day, denounce Black people in the ways that they do?
'The answer is very simple: Conservatives have shown no demonstrable indication to the black community that we are welcomed by the party or the conservative movement.'

...no demonstrable indication to the black community that we are welcomed by the party or the conservative movement... I've been a Republican for all of my life, over 60 years as an adult. I've attended many Republican-sponsored events.I can only juidge how welcome blacks are in the party by the way blacks were welcomed to those various events. My impressions were that they were very welcome. I guess that excludes community outreach such as President Trump has tried to do.

Reality check:
I want to tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that theres not enough troops in the army to force the southern people to break down segregation and admit the nigger race into our theatres into our swimming pools into our homes and into our churches.

Considering myself to be part of the “white community” would be racist, right?
That cuts both ways.
To: Jamestown1630
Well Abraham Lincoln was a Republican and tens of thousands of Republicans died during the Civil War. The Republicans also or working in the south after the war to combat the KKK and the Jim Crow laws. Know the real truth is that the schools and the media don’t tell the story of the Republican Party accurately.

Conservatives treat people as individuals, not as groups. We dont use identity politics as the building blocks of the party. Anyone who believes in conservative principles is welcome.

It could have been better written for understanding for readers who haven’t lived in a black community, but it would be wise to try to understand. Everyone is racist to some extent or other, but the first step towards welcoming more black people to conservative political action is to avoid generalizing about black people.
And no, I’m not black at all in any way. But I have lived in a black community and learned that many black people are conservative. Many of them don’t vote. That’s because they aren’t welcomed by enough truly wise people in either party.
Lefties are just as clueless, by the way, even though they do pander much.
